"Hick! Lucas, what took you so long to find me? Do you know how scared I was?"
Lucas felt a huge weight lift off his chest when he saw Thalia. He did not want anything to happen to her because of him.
He did not push Thalia away but instead reached out and patted her shoulder.
"There, there. I found you. Everything's okay now."
Melody felt bitter when she saw how affectionately Lucas and Thalia embraced each other. It seemed they did not need her after all.
After comforting Thalia for a while, Lucas finally let her go. "Are you hurt?"
Thalia just said she did not know where she had run off to and then mentioned that her foot was a little sore.
"Your foot? Let me see if you sprained it."
After checking and making sure she was not seriously injured, Lucas led her back. "It might be a slight sprain. We'll have a doctor look at it when we get back."
Melody had already turned off her flashlight when they started heading out. She leaned against a tree, unsure of how to react. Should she stay hidden or make herself known to them?
She felt absurd for running into the forest out of worry for Lucas and Thalia only for her to end up spraining her ankle, while they were being all affectionate with each other.
Moreover, before searching for Thalia, Lucas had harshly scolded her, leaving her very aggrieved.
Thalia whimpered out of pain after taking just a few steps.
Lucas frowned. He had not brought any tools with him when he came in, so he could not examine her.
"Lucas, how about you carry me out? I'm afraid the injury on my ankle might worsen if I keep walking like this..."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Day I Kissed An Older Man
This book is a good book, but it’s too short. I hope it has a part two👍🏾...
This book is getting boring now. I loved Jeremy, Corinne, Sonny and Lucas. The story needs to end. or bring back more of Jeremy, etc....
I haven't skipped any chapter at all. Though the story is good, it keeps going back to base one. I think this has no ending at all and somehow after reading more than 2500 chapters it's kinda tiring already. They have drained all the thrills....
Great writing! I almost cried when Helen hit Melody! So sad! 😭 can’t wait to see how the relationship with her and Lucas develops though. So tired of the repetitive problems with different people....
Yikes my body tenses so much, my moods change as the scenes change. It leaves me wanting to continue reading....
my heart breaks for melody, so many ups and downs, i shed a few tears when lucas walked by melody carrying thalia, and melody stayed quiet while watching them leave. i find myself getting into character as if im one. i dont remember ever feeling like that in any other books. im thankful the 10 chapters/day. waiting for the next 10...
We have updated progress from 7 chapters/day to 10 chapters/day.<3...
i love grandma Beatrice, there needs to me more people like her in the world straight forward and to the point, no beating around the bush and worrying about offending anyone, why pretend to be someone your not....
looking forward to more chapters, The same thing is happening to Melody as what happened to Luna, if Luna was back maybe she would set Lucas straight, can't wait to see how Lucas handles the situations that will arrive. Poor Melody....
ya Lucas pay more attention to Melody lets see what happens waiting for more chapters thanks...
